e. See the disk-size information about your selected component and feature

 

 

configuration, as well as the amount of free space on your drive, under the

 

 

GUI feature tree.

 

8.

Enter applicable user account information and, optionally, enable role

 

 

separation. If the user informix account does not exist on your computer yet,

 

 

the installation application creates one and requires you to create a password

 

 

for it.

 

 

a. Enter the user informix password for your Windows computer, unless you

 

 

want to install IDS so that it runs as a local system user account without

 

 

creating user informix. If no user informix exists on your computer yet,

 

 

the installation application creates one but you are responsible for

 

 

providing the password and storing it in a secure location.

 

 

b. Optional: Click the first checkbox to install in a particular domain and

 

 

specify the domain controller administrator. You must have administrator

 

 

privileges for the domain to do this.

 

 

c. Optional: Click the Local System User checkbox if you want the IDS

 

 

instance to run as an internal Windows account, instead of logging in as a

 

 

Windows service.

 

 

d. Optional: Click the checkbox for Do not Create User informixif you are

 

 

sure that this does not interfere with your implementation goals.

 

 

e. Optional: Click the Enable Role Separation box if you want to activate this

 

 

configuration option. If you do not enable role separation, click Next and

 

 

go to step 10.

 

9.

Specify role-based groups for IDS administration.

 

 

a. Select the name of the group to access the database server for general

 

 

administration tasks.

 

 

b. Select the name of the security administrator group and the password

 

 

twice for confirmation.

 

 

c. Select the name of the auditing administrator group and the password

 

 

twice for confirmation.

 

 

d. Select the name of the database end user group.

 

10.

Enter the server name for the installation.

11.

Optional: Select the Create Server option if you want to create the database

 

server but not initialize it.

 

12.

Optional: Create the database server instance and set basic configuration

 

 

parameters in the GUI application.

Warning: Installing with the Initialize Server checkbox selected deletes all existing IDS data, if any, on your host computer as part of the installation process. However, to set basic configuration parameters in the installation GUI, the Initialize Server checkbox must be selected. While using the configuration features in the installation application are potentially very useful, be sure to know your installation environment and proceed with caution.

a. Deselect the Initialize Server checkbox if you do not want to overwrite existing IDS data on your host computer by setting the configuration parameters below. Regardless of whether this checkbox is selected or not, the GUI program will provide a summary of your installation choices before copying files to your computer.

b. Optional: Select the Enable a custom configuration file to suit your needs and hardware checkbox if you want to activate the Instance Configuration Wizard. You need to enter settings for the socket protocol fields, but you will provide more detailed hardware and usage parameters in the GUI
